If there were any questions about GM’s Joe Root’s right to bat in England’s middle-order ahead of the New Zealand Test series, he answered them emphatically with a string of performances that won him the man-of-the-series award.

Team GM’s Joe Root went in to the start of the 2013 county season on the back of a difficult three Tests in New Zealand, where he had scored 88 runs in five innings. Some might have been questioning whether he was indeed worth his place in the middle-order. Now, after hitting 501 runs for Yorkshire since his return, he has been chosen to lead the England Lions and his place at Lord’s on 16th May looks assured.

The Australian vice-captain, who famously won the Player of the Year Award in 2010 and 2011, missed out on the main prize this time out, but was still named One-Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 Player of the Year.

Shane Watson’s long-awaited return to first-class cricket from a series of hamstring and calf injuries was not a happy one - thanks largely to GM’s Adam Voges and Liam Davis - as Western Australia thumped New South Wales by an innings and 323 runs in Perth overnight.
